Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

As for the reason, it was actually very simple. Jiang Huanyun could sense that Lu Yuan’s body contained an extremely powerful force. It was only that from beginning to end, Lu Yuan had kept it restrained and never released it. To Jiang Huanyun, this power might not be so terrifying.

But one had to understand that Lu Yuan had only cultivated and evolved for a few years. If the Holy Son and Saintess of his own clan were compared to him, they would likely be far inferior. Although this was very likely because he had taken advantage of this world’s awakening, it was still extremely terrifying.

Jiang Huanyun had observed him before. In terms of cultivation and evolution, Lu Yuan could be said to stand far ahead of everyone else. Such a person was naturally worthy of his attention.

”The future is the future. At least for now, Senior’s appearance has greatly helped this world.” Although Lu Yuan knew the other party had been sent by the Jiang Clan, one matter was one matter. Gratitude still had to be expressed where they were due.

”Good. Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Jiang Huanyun laughed, then looked toward Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong.

”Fifth Ancestor.” The two of them did not hesitate at all and immediately bowed slightly.

This was their elder, someone whose seniority was even higher than their father’s. No matter what sort of personalities the two of them had before, now that they had met an elder, they became obedient.

”Now that the seal of the Separation of Heaven and Earth has been completely lifted, the two of you cannot slack off in cultivation and evolution either. The situation in the future will only become more and more complicated. Even the Jiang Clan will not be able to remain uninvolved.

”As the Holy Son and Saintess, the two of you must become stronger as soon as possible. You cannot continue as you were before.”

Jiang Huanyun spoke in the tone of an elder, very much as though he were patiently instructing them.

Jiang Haokong, the bad-tempered Holy Son of the Jiang Clan with peerless talent, had no intention of refuting him after hearing these words. Instead, he was extremely well-behaved and immediately nodded. ”Yes, I understand.”

Beside him, Jiang Ningxian was naturally the same and said nothing more.

”Although I made the Ji Clan retreat just now, I cannot guarantee that they will not come back. Next, we must make proper preparations.”

Jiang Huanyun spoke again. He knew that the Ji Clan would certainly not let this matter rest. In the end, he was only one person.

To prevent anything unexpected from happening, he suggested that Lu Yuan move all important figures into Mount Tai. That way, they would not need to divide their attention. As for Jiang Huanyun himself, he would continuously patrol the various supercities.

There were countless ordinary people there, and no matter what, they could not be abandoned. Back when the Jiang Clan decided to cooperate with Lu Yuan, their purpose had also been to prevent widespread suffering and devastation.

Just as Jiang Ningxian had said before, the human race of this world shared ties of flesh and blood with the Jiang Clan as well. How could they bear to see innocent casualties?

Regarding this, Lu Yuan naturally had no objection. In truth, he had already begun taking action long ago.

When Jiang Huanyun heard this, he could not help feeling somewhat surprised. Then he thought of Jiang Ningxian’s evaluation of Lu Yuan—making preparations in advance and laying plans for the future. At once, he nodded.

He became increasingly certain that as long as Earth and the Celestial Court could safely survive this crisis, they would inevitably rise completely under Lu Yuan’s leadership in the future. When that time came, it would absolutely prove that the Jiang Clan’s choice had not been wrong at all.

After that, everyone said nothing more and left Jade Emperor Peak.

Today, the seal of the Separation of Heaven and Earth had completely vanished. They still had many things to do. At least for now, they could not put their minds at ease.

At the same time, elsewhere.

”Third Ancestor, why did you leave? Jiang Huanyun is very strong, but you are not weak either. You do not fear him. If you had acted, he might not have been able to gain any advantage. With me assisting from the side, killing Lu Yuan would not have been impossible,” the Holy Son of the Ji Clan spoke.

He truly could not understand. They had clearly had such a fine opportunity, yet the Third Ancestor had chosen to give it up. However, since the man was his elder, there was no hint of questioning in his tone.

”I naturally do not fear Jiang Huanyun, but if we fought, both sides would be injured. The problem is Lu Yuan, as well as those two youngsters from the Jiang Clan. All of them have already entered the Immortal Realm. Can you deal with them?”

The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor spoke, his eyes without the slightest change in emotions.

”Those people have basically only just entered the Immortal Realm. I do not fear them,” the Holy Son of the Ji Clan answered. In this regard, he was confident that even if the three of them attacked together, he would not be afraid.

”I naturally know your strength, but the problem is that we must ensure absolute success. If we act rashly this time and fail, what then? Next time, we will not have such a good opportunity.”

The Third Ancestor shook his head and continued, ”Moreover, this time, the Eternals did not act together with us. We had already agreed on this beforehand. In such a matter, it cannot be only my Ji Clan taking action. The Eternals must also make a move.”

The Eternals were very powerful, and they had also brought an existence whose strength was roughly on par with his. If the two of them joined forces when the time came, they naturally would not fear Jiang Huanyun. Together with the foundations of both clans, dealing with Lu Yuan would not amount to much at all.

Thus, even now, what he was most worried about was still the Jiang Clan. The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor’s consideration was that the Ji Clan absolutely could not become enemies with the Jiang Clan alone. They had to drag the Eternals into the same plight as well.

”I see... I understand.” The Holy Son of the Ji Clan immediately understood what they should do.

Now that the various races had descended, their true objective was the Great Age’s Providence. Lu Yuan was indeed very important, but what if dealing with him delayed the greater matter? What if they lost the qualifications to fight for the Great Age’s Providence?

The key now was to kill Lu Yuan while preserving as much of their own strength as possible. That was the most important thing.

The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor spoke again. ”Let’s go find the Eternals. As you said, some matters should be handled as quickly as possible. This Lu Yuan does indeed give me an extremely dangerous feeling. We cannot allow him to continue growing.”

Then, without saying anything else, he led everyone away.

Today, the seal of the Separation of Heaven and Earth had vanished, and the situation would become extremely chaotic. Even the Ji Clan would find it difficult to stabilize. Joining forces with allies was what needed to be done now.

On this day, the living beings on Earth, whether humans or mutated beasts, all saw streaks of radiance descending from the firmament from time to time. They were simply countless. Those were all existences from the Outer Cosmos beginning to descend without reservation now that there was no seal.

As for what those existences would do after descending, no one knew. But one thing was certain—this world would no longer be peaceful. Perhaps even the Celestial Court would not be able to fully control the situation.

Even so, many people were still willing to choose to believe in Lu Yuan and the Celestial Court. Because throughout this period of time, no matter what had happened, King Lu had resolved it. Therefore, the ordinary people in the five supercities did not panic.

As for Mount Tai Trials Academy, under Lu Yuan’s arrangements, the Celestial Court issued many orders, all meant to deal with the current situation. It could be said that although no great battle had erupted today, they had been busy enough.

There was no helping it. He had to do this. It was also the original purpose for which the Celestial Court had been founded.

To lay plans for every crisis that had yet to arrive.
